Zhao Sanniu was now a captain of thousands, and he took his men to the mountains and forests near the military camp for actual combat, but no one could be found at all.
Cheng Wanwan had no choice but to decide to meet He Xiao first.
Before Zhang Jinbao could send the message, He Xiao hurried to the west camp. He stood at the entrance of the camp, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Suishu people."
"Why did you become separated from me after returning to the He family?" Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "You are Sanniu's master and my recognized cousin. We shouldn't be separated like this."
He Xiao lowered his head: "Yes, I am ashamed of my cousin. I returned to the He family, but I couldn't stop the He family from attacking my cousin..."
"You can't stop the He family from attacking you, the legitimate son of the He family, so don't embarrass yourself." Cheng Wanwan looked at him and said, "If Sanniu is safe in the capital, it should be you who secretly sent someone to protect him. You If you can protect Sanniu well, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I should be the one to thank you."
She bowed slightly and thanked him.
How could He Xiao dare to accept such a gift? He quickly avoided it and said, "Cousin, it was my fault. I shouldn't be separated from you. Let's sit down and talk."
Cheng Wanwan smiled: "It should have been like this a long time ago."
The two sat down in the tent and talked about some things that had happened to the He family in the past two years.
After He Xiao was cleared of treason, the emperor reinstated his official position, but he did not live back at He's house. Instead, he chose to live in the military camp. Even during the New Year and holidays, he never went back to have a meal with his family.
It wasn't until this summer that the Yangzhou lobster poisoning incident reached the capital, and his visits to He's home gradually became more frequent.
"The crayfish poisoning was done by He Ling." He Xiao looked very serious. "After I learned about this matter, I have been looking for clues, but he did it very cleanly and couldn't find any suspicious clues. . In the end, I could only kill his right-hand man, causing him to lose two of his most powerful confidants..."
Cheng Wanwan asked: "Does your father, Mr. He, know about this matter?"
"Whether my father knows about it or not, he will choose to side with He Ling." A sarcastic smile appeared on He Xiao's face, "I warned my father and He Ling afterwards that if I find out again that they treat my cousin, my cousin's family, and If I attack the villagers of Dahe Town again, I don't mind standing on the opposite side of the He family. I am the second son of the He family. If I openly challenge the He family, I will definitely make the He family become the biggest joke in the whole capital. Therefore, I My father promised me that he would restrain He Ling and not allow him to take action again, and He Ling also said that he would not make any small moves again."
Cheng Wanwan smiled softly.
This He Ling really did one thing in person and another behind his back.
He clearly promised not to make any small moves, but the Tang family took action again and again...
Without the Tang family, there will be other Li families and Zhang families.
Only by pulling He Ling down will these endless little actions truly stop.
She raised her eyes and looked at He Xiao: "What if I want to take the initiative to take action against He Ling? No, I should say, what if I want to take action against the He family?"
If she deals with He Ling, He Xiao will definitely help.
But if dealing with the entire He family, He Xiao's situation would be more embarrassing.
Therefore, before taking action, she had to ask He Xiao what he thought.
He Xiao's expression became serious.
He has stayed in Dahe Village for two years, and he knows this cousin quite well. He is a very kind person and will never take the initiative to deal with anyone, even if some people touch his cousin's interests or even step on his bottom line. The methods of dealing with things are also relatively gentle, and they will never put anyone to death...
But now, there is a look of indifference and cruelty on the cousin's face... This is completely unacceptable to the He family.
Does this mean that the He family must have done many evil things that he doesn't know about?
He pursed his thin lips and said word by word: "Back then, He Ling accused me of collaborating with the enemy and treason. I was abandoned by the entire He family. My father, my mother, my eldest brother, my family ...They all gave up on me... Even if I come back now, I will never consider myself a member of the He family. If my cousin wants to deal with my father and He Ling, I will definitely help her... But I must tell the truth, There are also many innocent people in the He family..."
"Who do you think I am?" A smile appeared on Cheng Wanwan's lips, "Of course I won't do anything to the innocent people of the He family, but I must tell the truth. Once the He family collapses, those who rely on the He family will All the branches of the He family that exist in the family will also collapse one after another. Can you accept this result?"
"Since they have enjoyed the glory of the He family, they should also suffer the consequences." He Xiao said, "If my cousin needs my help, just ask."
Cheng Wanwan paused and said, "What happened to the dead soldiers that your He family originally raised?"
He Xiao replied: "The He family raised a total of one hundred dead soldiers. After the imperial court knew about this, my father handed over the one hundred dead soldiers to the imperial court for disgrace. The imperial court sent them to the border to build city walls."
Cheng Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure there are only a hundred?"
When she asked, He Xiao was not sure.
This is the big secret of the He family. Only the head of the He family and the future head of the family know it. One hundred is also what his father said. He really doesn't know whether this is the specific case...
"You don't have to check." Cheng Wanwan took out an exquisite and gorgeous pen holder from his sleeve, "Can you think of a way to give this to your elder brother?"
There is a listening device installed in this microphone.
The Tang family was able to collapse so quickly because of this thing. It was a useful thing, and of course she wouldn't mind using it a second time.
He Xiao took the pen holder over and said, "I will definitely finish what my cousin asked me to do as soon as possible."
While the two were talking, Zhao Sidan's voice came from the door of the camp: "Mom, third brother is back!"
Immediately afterwards, a dark-looking man walked in from the door and shouted excitedly: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to the capital? Everyone else knew that mom was coming, but I was so slow and not in a hurry. Wuwuwu, mother, I miss you so much..."
He started crying as he spoke and rushed towards Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan sighed, put the child's head on his shoulder, and patted it gently.
All in all, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. Not only does the son miss his mother, but as a mother, she also misses her son.
This boy has grown taller, stronger, and darker. If she met him outside, to be honest, she wouldn't dare to recognize him.
"Okay, stop crying." Cheng Wanwan said softly, "You are such a big man, you are not afraid of being laughed at if you cry like this."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was loud laughter outside the camp.
"Hahaha, Brother Sanniu is crying."
"Like a child."
"If Brother Sanniu laughs at us from now on, we will laugh at him about this."
Zhao Sanniu quickly wiped his tears and turned back to glare at his comrades.
Zhao Sidan finished his attack and said: "I don't cry as much as I did when I was a child. Third brother, you can really cry. My mother's shoulders are wet with your tears."
"You little bastard has grown so tall." Zhao Sanniu picked up his collar and threw it outside the tent, "Come on, let's show off and see if you've slacked off in the past two years."
He took action as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhao Sidan only managed three moves when he was knocked to the ground by Zhao Sanniu. He was so angry that he grabbed a handful of sand and threw it over: "Third brother is bullying!"
"Don't fight, don't fight." Zhang Jinbao ran over, "The food in the kitchen is ready. Suishuren, please hurry up and eat. Lao Yangtou specially made pork knuckles for Suishuren. It's delicious!"
He Xiao smiled and said: "Old Yangtou's cooking skills are very good. My cousin must try it later."
Cheng Wanwan didn't refuse anymore and followed everyone towards the place where they were eating.
